Fresh off a hard fought but ultimately futile effort Thursday night versus South Carolina, the LSU women’s basketball team (15-2, 3-1) took out all its frustration on Auburn (8-6, 0-3) 76-48 Sunday afternoon.
“I thought the shoot around at nine o’clock this morning was excellent,” Kim Mulkey said. “Sweating. Getting after it. Excited to be back on that floor. They’re just growing up before your eyes.”
Sunday was the type of blowout you normally see during non-conference play but LSU made easy work of the Tigers thanks to a 26-8 first quarter. Khayla Pointer got off to a quick start scoring nine of her 24 points in the first; she recorded her fifth double-double of the season with 24 points and 10 rebounds.
